August Testing Pond (Follow on from 24th-4th July) thread 3

@nottherealslimshady ahhh brilliant news !!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

SMU! so excited

Yes! That's fantastic news @Littlebee1990

I think my line is darker today, I did think maybe this test was rubbish and was giving me evap lines but I tested one with water and it gave a BFN so I think that's a good sign? Still only 10dpo today.

That’s great news @Littlebee1990!

@kalecat I am going to test on Friday as working from home then. I don't want the disappointment before having to go to work for the day 🤣

I am feeling horrific tonight , really sicky . Praying it isn't a bug 🙏

@Nottherealslimshady can't wait to see your test results in the AM!
@1992EM sounds hopeful, before my chemical last month, the main symptom was very swollen and tender boobs and especially nipples. When are you testing?

@AnnaPosie Hopefully you ovulate soon x

@nottherealslimshady totally agree . Although makes you convince yourself you are pregnant 🙈.

So according to my flo app my ovulation day is tomorrow, I did a cheap ovulation test there and just got one line so not ovulating yet, fingers crossed I start ovulation tomorrow. I'm still getting my head around all the terms and the process to be honest, this is my first time really tracking ovulation

@1992EM I'm the same! It really makes you feel less crazy, you're not the only one thinking it.

@Littlebee1990 I dont, I only have ICs, if i can see another line tomorrow then I'll order some :)

@nottherealslimshady I think I can see something . I am so rubbish with lines though. I ended up googling it and saw it can be . Although I think everything I type in says it can be pregnancy related 😅

So sorry AF showed @mrswilso 😔

@Littlebee1990 this is good! I know its been stressful but just focus on impending ovulation and DTD :)

@1992EM have everything crossed for you. I did see hiccups on my symptom list on my app so maybe it is a sign?

Thanks guys, trying not to get my hopes up but I cant help myself, it's so faint but i think it's there?

@mrswilso so sorry AF has arrived 😔
@nottherealslimshady have everything crossed.

10 dpo here . New symptom very tender boobs that are pretty swollen. Swollen boobs isn't unusual for AF but never had the tender thing like this before. I had to come home and go for a shower as I was so uncomfortable in my bra 🙈.

Still not too hopeful but some of these symptoms are making me question it .

Good luck @Nottherealslimshady!

Sorry to hear AF has struck @mrswilso. And sorry your cycle is still playing up @Littlebee1990. If you haven't ovulated yet then you could try agnus castus. I always recommend that because it really sorted mine out when they went awol coming off the pill (you only take it in the first half of your cycle, I believe, although I wasn't ttc when I used it so it didn't matter so much).

CD1 for me ladies 😭
Went to bed really optimistic but woke up to light bleeding this morning - the evil witch has never got me like that before!
Never mind, I'm taking it as a positive as it would mean that I probably did ovulate later on CD19 last cycle and my luteal phase is definitely working out around a healthy 12/13 days each cycle.
Hope everyone's keeping well 😘
Sorry to hear you're still waiting for the peak @Littlebee1990 hope you're coping okay 💕

@Littlebee1990 I'm so sorry this is still happening to you, I think if your next cycle isn't normal then ring EPU, they might be able to help get it back on track. Sending hugs

@Fran2020 tbh I'm not sure what those things are/mean but I'm glad it wasn't a horrible experience and hope you get some answers.

@1992EM they sound like some positive signs, fingers crossed for you.

Still nauseous here, Af not due till Tuesday but I had a slight temp dip today, could be the start of a downward trend. Took a test and think i can see the slightest hint of a shadow of a line but couldn't catch it on the camera, only 9dpo though, gonna test every day from today.

Welcome @Amelia891! And good luck!

I’m excited for you @1992EM! All sounding good! Hopefully your sickness is also pregnancy related @Nottherealslimshady! Some people say it can’t start before around 6 weeks but anecdotally that doesn’t appear to be entirely accurate.

Glad your scans went ok @Fran2020 and hopefully you’ll get some clearer results through the doctor. I had one of those internal ones a few years ago - it was quite uncomfortable!! According to that report, my lining was rather thin at the time, although I was on the pill, which I believe can cause that (this scan wasn’t anything to do with fertility - more to rule out gynae problems which turned out to be gastro).

@dogmam I know! It’s so silly and such a postcode lottery. Mind you, I checked mine after reading that and it’s 40 here. So as long as we don’t move it should be fine for me.

@dogmam @1992EM thank you!

I had a regular ultrasound first then had to go and have a wee before the internal scan. They said they could see one (maybe two) fibroid but it wasn't embedded in to the lining. She said my lining seemed to be thicker than expected for CD6. Then possibly could see a polyp. The scans etc will all be sent to my doctor within 7-10 days and she said to make an appointment with them. I guess the doctor will be able to analyse it more. 🤷🏻‍♀️
